The pistachio baklawa shines among a strong Arabic sweets selection. Best of all, the atmosphere is beautiful - think twinkly lights and lots of greenery and there’s a qanun player playing those beautiful haunting melodies throughout the evening. 

As part of the Hilton’s Green Ramadan initiative, The Conrad has partnered with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) West Asia to reduce food waste and promote mindful dining practices throughout the holy month - we love this initiative and it's what will see us at The Avery more than once this Ramadan season.
